CVE-2026-14706
Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.
NVD · uneditedA vulnerability was identified in code-projects Online Examination 1.0. This affects an unknown part of the file /update.php?q=addquiz of the component Quiz Creation Feature. The manipulation of the argument name/total/right/wrong/time/tag/desc leads to sql injection. The attack can be initiated remotely. The exploit is publicly available and might be used.
Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.
dbcve analysis · moderate confidenceSQL injection vulnerability in the Quiz Creation Feature of code-projects Online Examination 1.0 at /update.php?q=addquiz allows remote attackers to inject malicious SQL queries via the name, total, right, wrong, time, tag, or desc parameters.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.
dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Identify the installed product versionLocate the version information for code-projects Online Examination (check application footer, README, or version file). Compare against the base version 1.0.Affected if The installed version is Online Examination 1.0 or earlier
-
Verify the vulnerable script existsCheck if the file /update.php exists in the web root directory of the application.Affected if The file /update.php is present and accessible
-
Confirm the addquiz feature is reachableDetermine if the quiz creation endpoint /update.php?q=addquiz is accessible to users (check routing and access controls).Affected if The addquiz parameter routes to quiz creation functionality without proper authentication or access restrictions
-
Inspect database query handling for quiz parametersExamine the source code of update.php to see how parameters name, total, right, wrong, time, tag, and desc are handled in SQL queries. Look for direct string concatenation instead of prepared statements.Affected if The code uses direct parameter interpolation in SQL queries without parameterized queries or input sanitization
A defender is affected if they are running Online Examination 1.0 with the update.php script present and the addquiz feature accessible, where user-supplied quiz parameters are not processed through parameterized queries.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
From vendor dataImplement parameterized queries or prepared statements for all database operations in the quiz creation functionality, and apply strict input validation and sanitization to all user-supplied parameters.
